I met.

Hello, hope this video finds you well.

I've missed you.

I know it's only been a couple days, but I really enjoy these little talks that we've been having.

And it's good to talk to you like this.

We are running along with House Church.

It's going great.

And everything's good.

The kids are, you know, getting stronger and happier and healthier. We got to start homeschool here this week.

Luke is like sitting up by himself now, so that's really cool. But I want to talk to you about something that's really near and dear to my heart. And out of all the things that I've struggled with, lust, drugs, alcohol, pride, the thing that's been,

the hardest struggle to let go of has been fame. And as you know, like I've talked about

a lot on this channel, probably because it's one of my biggest struggles, the clout that came with having a big TikTok,

having a big Instagram, being stopped at the mall, being stopped at Home Depot or Walmart

Target, I never really liked it. There's a lot of anxiety that comes with being stopped by someone

who knows who you are, but you don't know who they are. Um, and I know it sounds like child as to even like complain about that, but I'm not complaining. I'm just saying that I don't think humans were ever supposed to experience that. I don't think not being recognized. Not that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying the fame and the popularity and all that

stuff, the human heart was never supposed to be able to hold something like that. It's traumatic.

Once you have fame and popularity to that degree, you can never go back to the way you were

before publicly. And so it's traumatic,

and I believe Jesus knew that. And Jesus himself did not chase popularity. Jesus ran from popularity.

And we live in a culture where we run to popularity. We run with a desire to reach popularity in every aspect. What's popular to where,

what's popular to, what's popular to listen to, what's popular to watch, or how can I be more

popular? And living like that will get you so far from God. Yeah, it'll just get you so far from God. I don't know how, I don't know,
